M&P 22 Compact Rear Sight Adjustment

[BillG174]

I am considering the purchase of an M&P 22 Compact. When the gun comes from the factory is the rear sight usually adjusted accurately for windage and elevation or is re-adjustment normally required by the shooter?

No adjustment was required with mine.

Accuracy varies with ammo, so your experience may vary.
Prepare several types of ammo, see what functions and groups best, then adjust your sights for that ammo. Or, adjust the sights to whatever ammo you plan on shooting the most.

Mine was spot on right out of the box.

No adjustment needed on mine either.

Thanks everyone for your replies and comments. I appreciate it!

I adjusted mine but it is easy to do.

Thanks! Would you please explain how to adjust the rear sights. Do you use a bench rest for a steady hold?

You need the correct Allen wrench. Check the manual for direction of rotation. Make small adjustments (1/4 to 1/2) and keep track of the direction and number of turns so you can go back if you need to.

You can use a range bag on the bench. I have one of these for sighting in.
